“There has been a crackdown on a server room in Greater Stockholm. This is in connection with violations of copyright law,” read a statement from Paul Pintér, police national coordinator for IP enforcement.

It appears that the Pirate Bay is still offline today, this is probably the longest time that the site has been offline since 2006, when the Swedish Police raided their Pirate Bay.
